That depends on the way you are writing.
If you are writing as USD, then no plural is required. But if you are writing Dollar than plural form is required for sure.
However, if you are holding 10 BTC at this moment, does it really matter on how you write it?? Enjoy with your bitcoin.

it will be bitcoin only as it is similar to any other currency. Bitcoin as like other currency is a collective noun.
example: we call 1 $ as a dollar and call 10$ as 10 dollar not10 dollars.
example: we call 1 $ as a dollar and call 10$ as 10 dollar not
that is WRONG

english is my second language but google tells me that you say 10 dollars.
you say 10 dollar bill. but you say i spent 10 dollars
it is the same as other units of measurement like foot which is 1 foot and 10 feet.
... depends on the context, I would think...
It is my understanding that you would say "gimme 10 dollars" or "I owe him 10 dollars" or "this item costs 10 dollars"... but that you have to say "a 10 dollar banknote" or "a 10 dollar amount is what he got out of it" or "I'm browsing for a 10 dollar item".

In this context, the OP would say "I have 10 bitcoins".
But if the OP had a 10 btc Casascius coin, they would say "I have a 10 bitcoin Casascius coin".
Overall, I think "10 bitcoins" would be the correct grammar, majority of the time.
Yeah if you hold more then one coin then you need to add that extra 's' to it and that would be the correct term to define 10 bitcoin's'.

It doesn't make any difference either you call it bitcoin or bitcoins, the purpose would be the same but if you think grammatically then 10 bitcoins is the right word.
Seen a lot of different ways of saying 10 btc, I personally say 10 bitcoin. My grammar has recently been question though, by the titanium BTCC coins. They say 10 bitcoins :-/
